Military and Veterans

Rewarding Careers

Dominion, an award-winning military employer, recognizes and honors active military, veterans and retired military. We know you've worked hard to gain special knowledge and skills. We also know that a leap from a military career to a civilian job can be an adjustment.

At Dominion, we offer rewarding careers, not just another job. We offer challenging opportunities that demand technical and problem-solving skills, leadership abilities, craft skills and much more.

We need experienced team players to keep Dominion moving forward, such as technicians, operators, mechanics, engineers, communicators, and administrative support, to name a few.

Dominion understands navigating the tools and resources available to transitioning military and veterans can be overwhelming. We have included links to several useful resources.

Troops to Energy Jobs Program

Dominion was among the first utilities in the country to partner in the Troops to Energy Jobs program, which helps link military members with rewarding careers in the energy industry.

For Military Spouses and Families

Dominion supports an inclusive culture and recognizes the importance of family, especially for our servicemen and women. We feel it's important for military family members to also be well-informed about the benefits and resources that Dominion offers its veterans.

In 2012, Dominion was recognized by Military Spouse magazine as a Top 20 Military Spouse Friendly Employer. In addition, Dominion co-signed a statement of support on October 10, 2011, for the Military Spouse Employment Partnership program with the Armed Forces to identify and promote career employment opportunities for military spouses.

Troop Support

Dominion has been a longtime supporter of American troops serving abroad, including our employees or family members in the National Guard or Reserves. The company’s Troop Support Program began in 2006 as a volunteer program. From 2006 to June 2012, Troop Support supported over 15 Battalions as well as the Craig Joint Theater Hospital in Afghanistan.

Due to tremendous interest from both Dominion employees and volunteers outside the company, a non-profit organization has been formed (Troop Support Program, Inc.). The company's Troops Support and Soldier Adoption Programs have become models for others interested in holding troop support drives.
